10 inch RE SEXv2 more efficient than 12 and 15 inch versions?

[ZMX 0]

RE's website claims 88.7dB/1w/1m SPL for the 10" SEXv2, but only 84.4dB on the 15" version. 

 

1) Wouldn't that mean that at any given power level, the 10" would be louder?
 

2) That sounds unreasonable, so either I'm wrong or there's a typo?

I haven't chosen them.  

I'm still trying to figure out how to even distinguish between subs when when model lineups don't actually explain anything about what niche the product is supposed to fill.

I've got two 0.6 cubic foot sealed boxes to fill and install in a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am.  I already have a 600w RMS Alpine amp, and I'd rather not get into running 0 gauge wire and installing a second battery unless there are huge gains to be had otherwise.  Working within those constraints, what will best satisfy a want for 80% Volume, 20% Quality?  Budget is only limited by the point of largely diminishing returns.

so your goal is SQ oriented ?

I don't think so.

My constraints are:

1.  I don't want to use a lot of space.  0.6 cubic feet for each sealed box

2.  I'd rather not get a larger amplifier, additional battery, etc, unless it will make a huge difference

3.  I want it to hit double bass drums in rock and not sound like a muddy turd, but it doesn't have to be Godlike clarity.  80% Volume, 20% Quality.

4.  I have plenty of money, but I don't want to waste it.

Would you be willing to invest in/build a good enclosure? Your enclosure is FAR more important than your equipment.

I know it's pretty much all downhill from the enclosure.  I've built an enclosure before and been satisfied.  I just don't want to use any more space in this car.

Not wanting to use more room is fine, but properly utilizing what room that you have is crucial.

yeah your looking for SQ.

 

 i would say look into the SSA Icon, or the FI Q for starters. both American made, both with provide you with what your looking for in a subwoofer.

I'm looking for SQ?  I'm confused.  I'd be glad to learn why.

Also, I'm an idiot and totally forgot to mention something pretty important.

I already have a single JL 10" 3W3v3.  Purchased before I knew any better.  It's already loud and totally satisfactory.  But, I'd like more.  How much room for improvement is there?

If you truly want solid advice give us the dimensions that you have to work with. You have already stated that you are flexible budget wise, so the next step is finding what will fit the best.
